The product design form must be used. It should include:
design methodologies appropriate to the type of IT product being designed
different levels of draft design, such as the overall structure as well as the internal layout of the product itself. This can also include investigation into specific elements used within the product (such as fonts, graphic elements, effects)
identification of a range of appropriate resources and techniques required for the development of the product
evidence of a test plan that addresses the main areas of functionality of the product
evidence of the agreement of the client to develop the product.
The product design should be in sufficient detail so the product could be independently created by an IT literate
third party.
